Things used to be normal in Casper, Alabama. Charity Pittman was a regular fourteen-year-old, the perfect daughter, following in her preacher father's footsteps. But then Adrienne arrived, with her big-city ways and artsy ideas. Reverend Pittman thinks she's the devil incarnate. Charity thinks she's amazing.

But no one knows what to think of Adrienne when she claims she's seen Jesus.

In the heartening and humorous book that made the National Book Award shortlist, Han Nolan visits a small town that's praying for a miracle but heading for disaster.

Reader's guide and an interview with the author included.

Small Town Southern Fiction: Welcome to Casper, Alabama, a God-fearing community where a single claim—that Jesus appeared in a living room—is enough to ignite a firestorm of belief, doubt, and utter chaos.
Finding Your Voice: Torn between her father’s rigid certainty and her new friend’s creative freedom, Charity must decide for herself what a miracle truly is and what she is willing to fight for.
A National Book Award Finalist for Teens: Perfect for young adult readers exploring complex themes of faith, identity, and community, this celebrated novel is a compelling look at the lines between devotion and disaster.
